About Me
I'm joining Service Space because ... it is my desire to connect with people of pure positive intention and create a heart to heart web of connections where authenticity is valued and truthful life journey honored. To find ways to serve, inspire and be inspired.
A good day to me is when ... there is love, laughter and lightness possible. Or if I am a contribution to a heart looking for happiness, clarity or peace.
My hero in life is ...Each one who walks the talk and chooses the difficult not for the glory of it, but for the truth in it.
My favorite book is ...The Power of Now by Echarte Tolle ...there's more that I should mention.
One thing I'm grateful for is ... this chance of living life on this beautiful planet and the beautiful souls I get to interact with.

Yesterday, 30 of us gathered for our first Awakin Teens Circle. I feel so blessed and full in my heart!
We split up into two circles -- one for teens, and one for parents. Remarkable storyteller, Brian Conroy, led the teens in a bunch of group activities and conversations around the theme: "obstacles to happiness and values that contribute to happiness." All the parents circled up in a separate room, and had an Awakin Circle-style period of stillness, reading, and circle of sharing reflections.
At the end, we all convened for a 'handshake telephone' activity that Maya and Aum led, which showed us ... Read Full Story
